About

The League of Worlds was founded over 2,000 years ago by a coalition of worlds tired of the warfare that was ravaging their corner of the galaxy. According to legend, the leaders of the warring races were drawn to a distant planet where they were confronted by strange creatures who made themselves known only as Peacebringers. They told the leaders that they should be happy to have found life in the vast darkness of space, and that they should be celebrating their good fortune instead of killing each other over petty squabbles. They told them that they were wasting a great opportunity and that there would be a greater future in store if only they could work together.

History doesn't record exactly what happened, but each returned home shaken and disturbed. The few who spoke of it said only that they were shown visions of the future and the past. Over the next few years, an end was put to their hostilities as they began to learn from each other and work together. It was a difficult task, and there were (and still are) missteps along the way, but the League has endured and continues to work at keeping the peace and paving the way for a brighter future for all races.

In 2097 LE (League Era), League explorers accidentally stumbled across Earth during the period of World War 2. They had never encountered a race with so many strangely powered people with such diverse abilities, and decided that it merited further study. Unfortunately, in the years soon after, the League had its hands full trying to keep the peace in the face of newly aggressive races that were now beginning to encroach upon the allied worlds.

It wasn't until the Rikti invasion of Earth that the League turned their attention back to the world. Despite the increasing chaos around them, the League authorized a force of representatives to be sent to establish relations with Earth, to help with defense and aid after the invasion, and to investigate the Rikti to determine whether or not there is a new threat on the rise. Upon arrival, however, they discovered that things might not be quite what they seem.

Establishing their base in Paragon City, the epicenter of the recent invasion, the League of Worlds is beginning to learn of the strange new world around them. To aid them in their mission, the Sector Marshals have begun to recruit help from the heroes of the city. Together, they hope to be able to unravel the growing mystery that seems to be enveloping this small blue planet on the western arm of the galaxy.

The League of Worlds is a City of Heroes supergroup for players interested in role-playing alien characters and their fellow teammates as they explore Paragon City. Although the League is focused on alien characters, the group is open to anyone who is interested in helping to protect the citizens of Paragon City and Earth.
